Transit for All
The most recent round of public transit fare hikes in Atlanta translated into prohibitive prices for many users who don’t have other alternatives. Unfortunately, Atlantans also have to fear the imminent privatization of these services by the Georgia Assembly. Concerned citizens and MARTA employees gathered in early March at the steps of the Georgia State Capitol to protest against such measures. Members of the Georgia legislature such as Senator Vincent Fort were also present to express their support.

Did You Know That
Since 1995, just 10 percent of subsidized American farms -- the largest and wealthiest operations -- have raked in 74 percent of all subsidy payments. Yet, only a tiny fraction of the farm bill funding goes to programs that support healthy fruits and vegetables.

Very nice example of photojournalism at its best. Enjoyed looking at these.
Thank you. It is so much easier when the cause is important and the people defending it are motivated and fun to shoot.
It’s great to see people who care about an issue come together like this. I’ve been trying to interest our city in BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) but Letters to the Editor, and letters to council members, have been to no avail.
Yes, there is ideological hostility towards public transportation. Governments think in terms of geopolitical power. When people commute by car and travel by plane they incidentally support the same industries that provide military might to their country. It’s a race that the United States is winning but it’s a race to death for everybody.
